Conversations with a Friend

I was talking to a friend last night, and I mentioned that I was going to try and start up the blog again, if I could scrounge together the neurons to do it.

My friend laughed and said, "I know why you think you're at such a nadir; the Sox are out of the playoffs and South Carolina's going to lose to Auburn. (Note: They did.) You've been noticeably less chipper since the Sox dropped five straight against the Yankees."

I hemmed and hawed a little bit about "next season", but my buddy pressed on.

"You've been miserable so long that you've forgotten what it was like to be happy. I remember you from college, before you went to law school, and you're not the same man. Before you left, you thought there couldn't be anything better than riding around, stealing signs and stuffing mailboxes for a campaign. You wanted to be a happy warrior, and you enjoyed that.

"Now look at you: You're back from law school, and what are you? You're bitter, apathetic, and mopey. You don't care about politics any longer and you don't even enjoy watching sports much. What you need is a woman. Not just any woman, or some granola girl worried about Bush Lied! or something. You need a relentlessly cheerful hard-nosed type who won't let you spin your wheels in despair or apathy, but who'll drag you out of this graduate shell you've made and get you back to the way you were."

Isn't the advice of others wonderful? It's the implementation of it that's the bear. Oh well; I'll try the blog thing again and see if I can make a go of it.
